    Scone.

    Jam.

    Cream.

    OK?

    Although Jam Scone Cream has a certain appeal.

    And the moral of this thread is: be careful what you type - people will pick up on some tiny little sub-clause of your post and divert the whole thread onto it. :D

    Anyway - you've all missed the point:

    Scone, jam, jam, cream, more cream, more cream. Ask for more cream

    Add cream.

    Buy larger scone.

    Repeat above.

    And anyone who cuts the scone, then does scone-jam-cream-scone (or turns it upside down) is a complete dullard.

    A scone is two snacks, not one.

    And raisins in scones - Satan's bogeys.

    There are regional variations within England as to how a cream tea should preferably be eaten. The Devonshire (or Devon) method is to split the scone in two, cover each half with clotted cream, and then add strawberry jam on top. Traditionally it is important that the scones be warm (ideally, freshly baked), clotted cream (not whipped), and that the jam be strawberry (although raspberry jam is sometimes used as an alternative[citation needed]). Butter should never be included, and the tea should be served with mil

    Edit yep from devon mainly round southbrent...

    That'll be those poshnobs what live in Devon. We peasents always do the opposite just to spite them.

    How the hell do you work that out? Cornwall is about 200 miles west of London, Luxembourg is about 24,500. Give or take.

    I'm not (or shouldn't be) the sole reason for your dislike of this section. If I am I'm honored.

    What the f*ck are you supposed do on a public forum if not to socialise. That's the whole point.

    And in the pub you don't do the following:

    Which can all be considered part of socialising.

    you can communicate without socialising - and you can socialise without meaningful communication. Maybe people are upset because you've confused the two?

    and for f*cks sake here we go what? :?:

    I do? Are you female smeared with cream and jam being drenched in an endless supply of banana bread?

    God... just say yes.

    Or are you a women named Bianchi with green eyes, olive skin and brown hair? I met her in my dreams once. It was a better World.

    Lordy! Calm down!

    I actually rather like this section and visit at least once a day. I do so to pick up tips about cycling, bikes, riding technique/safety etc. I dont look on here to read your views about iphones, sky packages or wether the ladies are wearing pants or not. that was the point I was making, that's all. When the board is flooded with these it is a bit irritating.

    I dont socialise on here because like most people who read posts here I dont actually know any of you. when I do socialise with my friends I do so by going down the pub/to their houses for dinner etc. I dont meet them on a public message board, that's all.

    Still don't know what a cave dweller means though. I met one in Spain and he seemed like a thoroughly decent chap and ran a very good restaurant.
